I thought it was only me who coined the phrase 'Dennis the Menace'. Seems everyone has named this latest Storm, Dennis. Another difficult day in the hills, locations and activities limited by high winds again. Valeria & Ed are out with me this weekend, learning essential skills for hillwalking in winter conditions. One of the many lessons to master is just coping in high winds and very wet conditions. We had that today in The Cairngorms. Once more the snow gates at Glenmore were closed. So after discussing options at the friendly and welcoming Cobbs cafe in Glenmore, we set off up to Craigowrie. A good choice, being low altitude and having a sizeable area of deep snow on its Northern aspects. We got some good axe and boot movement on various slopes in a sheltered location. It was raining all day so perfect to test out Goretex gear.
